We sat under a tree watching the tribe defile across the water-course: then remounting, after a ride of two miles, we reached a ground called Kuranyali , upon which the wigwams of the Nomads were already rising.
About two hours afterwards, as the sun became oppressive, we unloaded in a water-course, called by my companions Adad or the Acacia Gum : the distance was about twenty-five miles, and the direction S. W. 225o of Kuranyali.
